The book The Singularity is Near I was written by Rey Kurzweil, an American author, inventor, and futurist. The book talks about the author’s concept of “Singularity”, or the fusion of humans and machines. He points out that humans will inevitably mutate because of the effects of fast-paced developments in technology. Furthermore, Kurzweil theorizes that we are actually experiencing the initial stages of this evolution (Kurzweil).

This video highlights the development of theory of interaction of electricity with magnetism. A number of scientists were involved in understanding, interpreting and validating electromagnetism with simple experiments involving current and magnetic elements. During September 1820, Ampere investigated magnetic effects of repulsion/attraction between like/unlike poles. He developed theory of electro-dynamics related to magnetism as interaction of current elements. Laplace was skeptical of his ideas while some other scientists like Fernel started thinking on converse patterns.
Some other scientists like Jean Fernel focused on theory of production of electricity by magnetism and production of currents in conducting metals. Jean Fernel ...

In the Poems by Eberhart and Thomas

Childhood is a topic of many poems because it is the experience that all the people have in their life.

This all depends on diverse factors that happen throughout that period of time. The outer environment plays a big role in childhood for people. Some people may be happier and the others can be less satisfied with their childhood experiences. Two poems, “Fern Hill” by Dylan Thomas and “If I could only live at ...

One of the major effects of industrialization in Southeast Asia is the emergence of the Utopian cities developed in order to cater the needs of the wealthy and the middle class citizens whose income allows them to purchase properties such as high-rise condominiums near the city centers near their workplaces.

INTRODUCTION

Economical and industrial development are two of the most important elements on the evolutional way for any country and nationality. However, it often happens so that people discover something new and hurl themselves into using it before making throughout estimations of potential risks and hazards. This is especially common if such newly discovered entity (an invention, or mineral, or a way to dig out minerals – this could be anything) is capable of making large sums of money: then there is no particular doubt of this entity becoming incredibly popular and exploited to the extent of being overused. To top ...

The extraction of oil and natural gas has been a major industry in the United States for many years. Originally, this fuel was used simply to heat homes.

Introduction

The desire to conform to the norms is what makes the foundation of a civilized society. Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society. Deviation from these established rules is considered as undesirable and people who deviate are considered as having abnormal qualities or malfunctioning (Merton, 2002, p. 672). There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

Civilization combined with the industrial revolution has altered the cycle of life dramatically. Land, air and water are all elements that have experienced significant change to wildlife, atmospheric and human conditions. As urban cities expand throughout the globe, man becomes more dependent on corporations, construction, development and manufactured goods in the ultimate form consumption. In order to maintain consumerism, land is being built over using components that smother the Earth. Pouring concrete over a meadow, for example, suffocates both plant and wildlife and welcomes the exhaust of concrete, automobiles, trucks and rubber tires that overall poisons every natural characteristic ...

Significance of the play

The play captures the themes of loneliness and love, in a way that makes the reader, or the audience, awe at the depth of creativity of David Henry Hwang. The structure of the play targets the general audience, as it brings out the kind of feelings that someone keeps in the face of rejection and failure to fit in society. Two characters, a man and a woman in middle age, tell their versions of loneliness and their lack of human company. The man confides to the woman that he had to sleep in a waterfall in the previous night ...

Preamble

Addressing the trade balance’s nature, it seems worthwhile noting that its indicator reflects the difference between the state’s exports and imports. Talking more scientifically, it is a pecuniary ratio amid the amount of money received for goods and services exported outward a country and the cash paid for imported goods and services. If exports’ money exceeds the currency accepted as exchange for the imported articles, the circumstance stands for external surplus. Otherwise (if market conditions reveal vice versa), the case is generally called as red ink.

It used to be so easy. For tens of thousands of years, humans used wood-burning fire to heat their dwellings, to cook their food, to forge simple tools. Tens of thousands of years before that, human’s ancestors harnessed the power of fire, giving them a hunting advantage over other animals. Then, the population started to increase, especially after the Plague had ravaged much of the world’s population. Wood became scarce, especially in places of dense population, such as England. The increasing rarity of the resource made the demand for another source of energy greater than the demand ...

An earthquake is any seismic event that causes seismic waves. These can be caused by human activity or natural causes. For example, fracking often causes earthquakes which are human caused. Earthquakes often shake or displace the ground or surface of the earth near the epicenter and if the displaced earth is under the ocean, it will usually cause a tsunami. Most earthquakes are caused by geological faults but they can also be caused by landslides, mine blasting, and volcanic activity. Earthquakes are measured by overserving seismometers that are set up across the globe in strategic places for ...

Some cities were imagined, designed and created wholly or partially in a way that forever provided shape for their histories and identities, governments and religions as well as for the economies of their citizens. An example is the great city of Jerusalem. Whatever they were or however they developed later in time, the details of their foundation, along the momentous and monumental contractions that redesigned or redefined various sectors within them make them case studies in the historical processes that surround cities as well as their regional and continental effects. The paper attempts to identify the evolution of Jerusalem ...

Communication

During every sporting event there is always positive and negative communication. At a local sporting event, featuring a peewee league of young boys, I observed how fans communicated with each other and found it was primarily based on which team they were for, as well as if they felt their favorite player was being treated fairly. I assumed before my observation began that positive and negative communication would be relatively equal throughout the day. My hypothesis was based on the idea that if fans of the same team acted positively toward one another and fans of opposing teams acted ...

“If it has ‘science’ in its name, it ain’t (Minnick).” Those words were said to this writer by the smartest person he ever knew personally, a man with PhDs in Mathematics and Physics, a true scientist. He went on to explain that science, if it is science, can be reduced to mathematics and then can predict. “Science can generate electricity or flatten cities,” he said. The problem, of course, is that whenever one deals with the “soft sciences,” political science or economics (the dismal science) or sociology or history or any of the disciplines that are housed in ...

In the world where we live, we exist with the perceptions that there are limitations to the feats that the human body could perform. This is why we presume that people who are disabled cannot take part in sports or any athletic event which requires the use of the body when one part or the other is not functioning at its best. People who have become disabled through one or the other unfortunate occurrence of fate think so otherwise because they have proven to us time and again that their limitations will not hold them back from going after ...

Oil Prices Fluctuating In the Middle East

Introduction
Oil being a commodity is subject to high levels of fluctuations as opposed to the stable investments like bonds and stocks.

As a result, OPEC controls around 40 percent of the global supply of oil by setting the production levels that caters for the world demand and it can determine the prices of gas and oil by reducing or raising the levels of production.
At a particular point in time, OPEC vowed to maintain the prices above $ ...

The emergence of digital currencies and their rapid expansion into international financial markets and the lives of common people has been nothing but a substantial shake-up for the global financial sector.
